When Selené Cortez told her crime boss fiancé that she would rather die than marry him, she meant every word- she just wasn't expecting him to call her bluff. Now, making his bodyguard, Anya, fall in love with her might just be the only thing that will save her life.

Season 1 of Protecting Selené

***
 
Bound in a loveless engagement with one of the most dangerous crime bosses in Atlanta, Selené Cortez wants nothing more than to get away from the man who keeps her caged. But when she tries to break off the engagement, Trey makes it clear that leaving isn't an option. At least, not alive. With their marriage only weeks away and nowhere left to turn, Selené sets her sights on removing Trey's biggest threat-his bodyguard and closest confidant, Anya Porter. She knows Anya can't kill her if she's in love with her.
 
As Selené pulls Anya into a steamy, dangerous affair that could destroy them both, the line between manipulation and reality starts to blur. Anya is everything Selené's always wanted, and there's an unexpected softness underneath her tough exterior that threatens to disarm Selené's plan. But in a world that thrives on deception and power, how can Selené ever really trust Anya? And with Trey watching her every move, will she ever have a shot at real love?

I sigh, slipping off my coat. My short-sleeve blouse underneath. My grab marks and cigarette burns danced across my skin. I softly place the coat in Dexters stretched-out hand. Various stages of bruising on my arms are now visible. I couldn't help but notice the tension increase in the air. Nobody says anything. Mr. Greyson runs his hands through his hair and over his face. A heavy sigh leaves his lips. "Sit on my desk." He says this as he continues to sit in his chair. Shame and embarrassment fuel my body as I sit down on his deck in front of him. He looks at my arm, wrapped tightly. Before unwrapping delicately as if foreign to his nature. "Jesus Christ," he mumbles under his breath as more and more of my arm is unwrapped.
